Still cant create a new character?

Yeah its the same for Balmung. I told my brother to buy the game so he can come over to play with me and my friends because the news for today says it is still open. So if the server is closed he has wasted his money in buying a game he won't play because he can't play with me.

Balmung opens pretty regularly to new characters, usually during the overnight hours (EST)

Yeah He is still trying to make a character on it and will throughout the night. Hopefully he will get the chance
